Less Than 30 Days Until the Special Session

June 19, 2017

Dear fellow Texans,

We are now less than 30 days away from a legislative special session called by Governor Greg Abbott that will begin on July 18th, 2017. The regular legislative session adjourned on May 29th. In his initial announcement, Governor Abbott identified 20 items that will be included on the special session call.

Special session agenda items will include:

Sunset legislation

Teacher pay increase of $1,000

Administrative flexibility in teacher hiring and retention practices

School finance reform commission

School choice for special needs students

Property tax reform

Caps on state and local spending

Preventing cities from regulating what property owners do with trees on private land

Preventing local governments from changing rules midway through construction projects

I am encouraged to see so many conservative priorities on this list. I stand ready to get back to work in Austin in July to finish the job we started and welcome your feedback on what is of highest priority to you.

May God continue to bless the great state of Texas!

Dwayne Bohac
